My question is about “Diyyat” :

Q.2.If a Muslim man killed a Muslim woman,what is the amount of “diyyat“.
Q.3.If a Muslim woman killed a Muslim man ,what is the amount of “diyyat

Is the case of a man and woman the same or is the woman’s case amount half than a man !

Answer:

`Alaykum as-Salam,

This is a question about diya (not diyya), an Arabic word that means the obligatory money to be paid in compensation for causing loss of life.

By consensus in Islam, in case of killing a free Muslim man whether intentionally or by accident, blood money is one hundred camels of certain specific kinds, for which the perpetrator is responsible regardless of gender, and the blood money in case of killing a free Muslim woman is half of the blood money of a free Muslim man.
